Are your listening levels healthy? Doing damage?

I believe 85 db is the threshold for damage. 

can you please repeat? i can’t hear you

try caps lock!!

Well recorded rock music from good bands just starts to come alive at 85db….. Fir that matter, same goes for full symphonic music.
 

What’s the point of big expensive speakers & amps  when at 85 db, you need a watt or two for the average speaker sensitivity ? 
 

My objective is to simulate music as much as possible & that means volume & dynamics!!!  To each his own!

If you need to turn it up loud to sound good, then your system needs work.

I have some damage from when I was young and couldn't afford a good system.

My experience with a few Android SPL meter apps was that they were garbage. Not accurate at all. Buy a "real" calibrated SPL meter from a reputable brand and call it a day. It should last you a lifetime as long as you don’t leave batteries in it more than a year at a time (leaking batteries is sadly still a thing here in 2023).

I listen in the 80 to 85dB range most of the time, occasionally "rocking out" once in a blue moon to the low 90s. At night, I listen to music in the mid-70s range to wind down and go to sleep. I learned my lesson. And too many loud concerts have taken their toil over the years, along with ironically my various car systems over the years. I really did more damage with my car systems than I ever did with my "real" stereos. I have 8000Hz tinnitus now that varies from being ignorable to being pretty loud depending on my stress level. I wouldn’t wish tinnitus on the Devil. It is definitely no fun and distracts from the pleasure of listening to music.
